LAWFUL Processing

To process your personal data, we rely on certain lawful bases, depending on how you interact with our Platform. If we do process your personal data, we may use one or more of the following lawful bases for processing:

  • Compliance with applicable law: We may process your personal data where the processing is required by applicable law

  • Legitimate interests: We may process your personal data where we have a legitimate interest in carrying out the processing for the purpose of managing, operating or promoting our business, and that legitimate interest is not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights, or freedoms (for example, we may have a legitimate interest as a business to use your contact details to respond to any comments or questions submitted in our contact forms, to process information about the effectiveness of our products, services and other promotional initiatives; to operate, improve and maintain our business, products and services; to protect our or others’ rights, property or safety; and for general research and analysis purposes)

SHARING of Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with other organisations in the following circumstances:

  • If the law or a public authority says we must share the personal data
  • If we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (this includes providing personal data to others for the purposes of preventing fraud and reducing credit risk)
  • We use third party service providers who provide elements of services for us, for example to host, manage and service our Platform. When using service providers, we enter into agreements that require them to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. A list of our third-party service providers can be found by requesting this via from our Data Protection Officer by email at DPO@zelus.com. Each independent data controller is responsible for protecting your information when it is under their control, and you may exercise your rights by contacting them directly, as set out in their Privacy Policies.

  • Zelus companies, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies
  • To any other third party where you have provided your consent

We may also transfer personal data we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganisation, spin-off, dissolution or liquidation).

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Data

We will not sell your personal data to any third parties. We will only share your personal data with third parties in the manners set out in this privacy policy or notified to you from time to time.

Management of International Transfers of Your Personal Data

Some of the data recipients with whom we share your personal data may be located in countries other than the country in which your personal data originally was collected. The laws in those countries may not provide the same level of data protection compared to the country in which you initially provided your data. Nevertheless, when we transfer your personal data to recipients in other countries, we will protect that personal data as described in this privacy policy and in compliance with applicable law.

We take measures to comply with applicable legal requirements for the transfer of personal data to recipients in countries outside of the EEA, United Kingdom (UK) or Switzerland that do not provide an adequate level of data protection.

We use a variety of measures to ensure that your personal data transferred to these countries receives adequate protection in accordance with data protection rules. This includes signing the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, entering into an international data transfer agreement, or verifying the recipient has adopted Binding Corporate Rules. Where personal data is transferred within Zelus’ group companies that are based in different jurisdictions, we use an intragroup data transfer agreement.

RETENTION of your Personal Data

Your personal information will be retained for as long as is necessary to carry out the purposes set out in this privacy policy (unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law).

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to request:

  • Access to your personal data
  • An electronic copy of your personal data (portability) and to have this information transmitted to another company
  • Correction of your personal data if it is incomplete or inaccurate
  • Deletion or restriction of, or an objection to the processing of, your personal data in certain circumstances provided by applicable law

These rights are not absolute. Where we have obtained your consent for the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

If you like would to request a copy of your personal data or exercise any of your other rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer by email at DPO@zelus.com

  • We use appropriate procedures and technical security measures (including strict encryption, anonymisation and archiving techniques) to safeguard your information across all our computer systems, networks, websites, mobile apps, offices and stores
